Mike-
I responded to my own message about the math error I made. and then
screwed up my own correction. Grrrrr.... sometimes you can't win. Thanks
for posting the correct numbers. Obviously (except to me apparently),
there are 100 cm in a meter so .3 * 100 = 30 cm :)
There are exceptions to every rule. Trick is knowing when to apply the
rule or when to apply the exception. Kind of like "expert tools" that
purport to let anyone solve a complicated problem. In reality they
should be known as "tools for experts".
